> The problem of EU as I see it is that it is comprised of "normal" European countries - meaning, for all of their economic development, small-ish and not having direct military ambitions, or requirement to have those.

If Russia were a member of the EU, it would not even make it to the top 3 of largest economies in the union. Nor will the military be anything remarkable after Soviet stockpiles run out or rot away without leaving any more T-72 bodies to refurbish. You are living in the final days of a colonial empire that hasn't yet come to terms with the fact that the world has changed. Spain, France, the UK, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and others all had "military ambitions" and empires once, several of them much more impressive than Russia ever was. The war against Ukraine perfectly mirrors the pointless wars that European colonial powers were waging in the middle of the previous century in Malaysia, Algeria, Angola, Indochina and elsewhere. Desperately clinging to the past won't change anything and only prolongs the pain of inevitable transformation.

> There is some discrepancy: you are telling that Russians can only blame themselves for being worse off, but in fact Russians aren't complaining, and it is fellow Europeans who all the time blame Russia and also complain about their political and economic conditions.

Why are you killing people in Ukraine every day if you are happy with your lives?

The entire war seems like a giant temper tantrum over the fact that a nation that you've seen as one of the closest to you sees you as the inferior option and has chosen the EU as their partner instead. And what fuels the incredible inferiority complex, jealousy and resentment is knowing how it's all true: European integration is a better option for Ukraine, and that despite all the "jewrope" and "gayropa" garbage on the telly and in the newspapers, people really do live better, happier, safer and more fulfilling lives in Europe.

You act like creeps who think that you have a special relationship with that woman down the street, and viciously attack when she dares to have a relationship with anyone but you, while she has time and time again made it clear that she is not interested in you. Beating and raping her won't make her love you either.

I prefer ExternalProject_Add because that way I have full control of the build process. Adding even more abstractions leads to issues, edge cases and the like.
You're still losing a ton of info, including who said what to who.

It happens a ton that an exchange is misunderstood and the wrong action is taken. I can't image having only some resume of the whole thing and no logs of who participated, who said what at what time, and replay it all to get back on track from where it went off the rails.

Sure you can just have the same discussion again, but that's such a waste of time IMHO.
I recommend the onetab extension to stuff those tabs into a page that’s just a list of links.

"Some writers" say that the French Foreign Legion has been deployed to the front lines in Ukraine too. We must take this very seriously, then!

Some writers write things like Four Fat Harvard Girls Lose Book Bag too. They use sentence fragments. They try to save ink by doing weird shit. Professional Buzzfeed writers write AF (yes, in caps) to mean as fuck. The Atlantic used the words electroöptical and rôles in 1940. Just because some minimum-wage burnout or penny-pinching editor breaks a rule doesn't mean that the rule doesn't exist.

If you go around the office saying that someone drank out of the boss' mug, they'll think you're fresh off the boat. Not only is it wrong in written English, it's not even accepted colloquially in spoken English, anywhere. And so it makes perfect sense that the written form would reflect the pronunciation.

Saying Texas' weather out loud just confuses people into thinking you're using it as an adjective when what you're really doing is trying to sound smart when you're actually sounding dumb. If you point at a book and say, that's Chris', you sound like you have brain damage. How is the book Chris'?
Chris is a person, not a book! The only reason that people don't correct you is that they're being polite. And people misspell words all the time and the world doesn't cave in. That doesn't imply any particular thing about English grammar.

Another commenter found that you can say Jeff Bridges' because this is an irregular case to avoid saying the same sound twice—an exception which proves the rule (and also, I don't think it's irrelevant at all to point out the fact that Bridges is literally a plural noun made into a name). But Thomas is decidedly not in this narrow category. His source even uses Thomas' as an example of what not to do, lol. Normally I wouldn't dumpster someone this hard but hn rate limits so I may as well lengthen my response. Nothing personal.
Their last venture before the R1 was an NFT rug-pull, they're just grifters who moved onto AI after crypto burned out.

They're determined grifters for sure, bespoke hardware is a much bigger investment than shitting out some NFTs, but they're still probably going to run away and leave you with a useless device in a year.

Syncthing does not need a server to work over the LAN, and I think you can set it to only use peer discovery over a LAN. You can disable pubic servers, but data sent through them is encrypted anyway.

Weird thing about vaping is there's no cut-off. You smoke one cigarette and the cigarette is out. You vape and ... when do you actually stop?

Bingo.

What Google did here is sanctionable. It's not something the courts tend to look favorably on and could ultimately end up getting a default judgement.

And this isn't the first case of Google burying evidence to try and complicate legal proceedings. They had, for example, the policy of "any email with sensitive stuff should cc legal" policy to try and shield potential criminal behavior with attorney client privilege.
I guess encrypted swap would be a good option (easier than messing with mlock()) According to the docs, this is enabled by default.
That's not correct. The allegation in the article is that Google was under a legal obligation to preserve the chats, and that Google repeatedly told the government it was saving internal chats while repeatedly destroying them.

The referenced article is mainly about about capital efficiency from introducing computers which isn't so surprising as it needs time to (figure out how to) use them effectively.

Nowadays, handling payments, compliance, risk management, trading etc. without computers would be impossible. What is true is that a fair amount of productivity is absorbed on compliance and control issues, though.
> What personally annoys me is the very disrespectful behaviour of the seeming majority of english residents who are perfectly happy to pave, tarmac or concrete their entire front garden to fill with cars

I disagree with your “disrespectful” label. Modern families might have 2-3 vehicles which can’t be parked on the streets as there’s no space. People have taken to parking two wheels on pavements so as not to block traffic.

Concreting front gardens is a _necessity_ in this modern world in many towns, not an act of malicious disrespect.

It is awful, though. Truly. I sometimes look at historic street photographs of the 50s/60s/70s. Well-manicured front gardens with very few cars on the road. Those days are all but gone… for now.

> - vcpkg: dependencies that have custom patches only relevant for my software or where maintainers apply patches once every six months

Yeah, this is a pain point; maintainers need to be more on-the-ball about updating and maintaining packages and package versioning. Maintainers for large Linux package repos (e.g. apt, yum, pacman) can do it, I don't see why vcpkg maintainers can't.

> vcpkg: not sure how I can pass specific flags to dependencies. For instance I need to build LLVM with specific CMake flags.

Use overlay ports[1] and edit the portfile.cmake to pass in additional variables[2]. If you want this to be really configurable every time, then use `VCPKG_ENV_PASSTHROUGH`[3] in a custom triplet[4]. This Stack Overflow answer[5] (full disclosure: I wrote it) explains why you have to do this.

> I would like to be able to tell CMake "for this build, use source folder /foo for dependency "foo"

Use `FetchContent_Declare` with `SOURCE_DIR`[6; this leads to `ExternalProject`, but everything you can use there you can also use with `FetchContent`]. e.g.

FetchContent_Declare(fmt SOURCE_DIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../thirdparty/fmt/")
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(fmt)

> How do you handle dependencies that takes ages to build.

Link vcpkg's asset and binary caches to a network drive that all developer terminals can access straightforwardly. S3, Azure, GCP, GitHub, local/network filesystems are all supported[7][8].

> this article misses the point of the Rabbit R1

This article isn't a review of the Rabbit R1. It's a response to a statement Rabbit made denying the assertions in an earlier article saying that the Rabbit R1 software was just an android app.

> they are being rewarded by innovators for it.

I don't really understand what you mean. By "innovators" do you mean something like "early adopters"? "Innovators" generally means people who make something new so I don't see how Rabbit, as the company that has launched this product, is being "rewarded by innovators".

> Stop fetishizing the tech for how they got there.

How is this article "fetishizing the tech" by saying that it could have just been an android app?
The UK, like the US, doesn't have an official language. Though, constituent parts of it have given official standing to other languages.
Anything exposed to neutrons is not going to be "demonstrated" in the sense of shown to work in an environment of a working production DT reactor. The integrated neutron flux over the lifetime of ITER, assuming it works at all, is just a few percent what would be needed. This will not be sufficient to show the devices or materials are adequate or to conduct necessary reliability growth.

There is the larger issue of whether anything like ITER, with solid surfaces exposed to DT neutron flux, could ever be successful. ITER itself is very far out of the running as a prototype for a competitive source of heat, with volumetric power density of the reactor 400x lower than existing PWRs. A substantial part of that problem is limits on power/area through the exposed surfaces.
That’s kind of far out that Ed Markey and Ted Cruz are the co sponsors of this bill.

For the record: I love Ed Markey. I’m in his congressional district. (Technically, I’m in his town - his registered congressional address is in Malden, MA!) I’m kind of surprised to see him co sponsor with Ted. But I’m pleased that the two of them are working together.

We need more public examples of this - or more publicity for the examples of this that go down. I’m sure there are lots. They’re just not as cinematic as culture war stories.
These kinds of discussions remind me that not everyone codes in the same domain where the same patterns dominate. I think everyone would do well to avoid "but I don't need it, so it seems unnecessary" kinds of arguments and instead have the imagination that others may code in different domains where different patterns dominate.

Me? References get returned all the time because you want to access some state store's vector of things without copying the vector just to ask "are any of the elements X?" or adding a new method for every `std::algorithm` method for each member you might want to use it on.

The benefit of `optional<T&>` over `T*` in an API is that the former communicates "you have write access to this thing which may not exist" whereas the second needs documentation for whether `nullptr` is a thing and whether the caller needs to `delete` it (or was it `delete[]` this time?).
OK, this is a good reply, and very informative, many thanks. Now I understand why the thing is paradoxical.
I always see this behavior with young SDEs. But using chrome. And they are militant about not restarting their browser when they are clearly having browser issues. I always ask why don't you bookmark these things? Or how can you possibly see which tab is which? While they take a whole minute to bring back up thentab they had open.

As someone who doesn't even use bookmarks and instead just relies on the awesome bars history...why do you keep 100's of tabs open and not bookmarked?

This person can solve their "problem" by just saving the open session to a new folder in the bookmark toolbar. And never have this happen again. They can even call it memory lane.
Not only that, but a lot of the efficiency gains are directed towards tasks that, otherwise, would not be done because it wasn’t worth the cost. Now that the cost is low enough, their marginal gains absorb the resources that’s be freed by automation.

That’s the origin of so-called “bullshit jobs”.
There is a screenshot of an email that someone from Ukraine sent to Sony support and their response was that you can create an account using PS5 but not from a PC.
I doubt that it can be said about Britain to have been "the morally highest out of the colonizers".

The most obvious difference between Britain and the other colonizers is that in most British colonies the former native populations have vanished in a much greater proportion than in the colonies of other countries (with the notable exception of India, which was much more populous since the beginning and where much less British have immigrated).

Based on this difference, Britain does not seem to have been the morally highest, but the opposite.

The current higher solidarity between some former British colonies is based exactly on the fact that these are the colonies where the natives have been almost completely replaced by immigrants, which are more closely related between themselves due to their common origin.
> I think the problem would be really fucking rich Americans moving or buying second homes in Norway and causing property values to 5x.

We have that problem in the UK, especially London. Rich Russians, Chinese, and from just about everywhere else.

If Norway does not make an exemption for rich people to come in if they want to, its very unusual. Generally, if you are rich, you can visit or live in anywhere you want. I can think of multiple cases where rich people with histories of serious crime or links to organised crime have no problem travelling to multiple countries.
> There are no easy wins left to contribute.

I don't think that's true. Watch the pgsql-docs mailing list and you will see a steady stream of people pointing issues in the docs.

Moreover, there is a steady stream of new features. New features that need polish and docs. I've got a patch in the mailing list (maybe, hopefully, knock on wood) to add the first code samples to demonstrate Table Access Methods.

For that matter, I don't think there has yet been committed an a second /dev/null or in-memory Table Access Method. Though I'm aware of one person's effort to add a /dev/null Table Access Method. But I don't think this has been merged yet.

This is unrelated to what Robert is talking about though. I don't love the contribution process. But there is definitely a lot to contribute to if you do spend time and keep an a eye out for where improvement might be useful/accepted.
This is not code boilerplates at all. Nothing is clickable.

You are most likely right.

I am personally bothered by the way it is presented as a "paradox", with the implication that it would have real world applications.

I have zero doubts that you can't improve the estimate of the US wheat yields by looking at some other unrelated things, like candy bars. Presenting the result as if it a real "improvement" is false advertisement.

On the other hand, if we look at related observations, then the improvement is not a paradox at all. Let's say I want to estimate the average temperature in the US and in Europe. They are related, and combining the estimates will result to a better result, to nobody's surprise.

I'd say hacking isn't the same as building new production quality features.

Just for fun or for educational purposes, I'd want to change something about the database, and it won't be easy because internals aren't that well documented beyond code comments and C makes it hard to find what's what (no rust-style docs or code map).

Given months of digging around I'm sure I'll be able to do something small, but "hacking" is a side gig, not a full-time job.

I mean, you can just read up on Gov information on it: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/research-repor... (similar reports are published by the EU, UK, and other governments)

"Apple is reportedly using consumer data, such as spending history and which devices a user owns"

"Specifically, Google collects an immense amount of consumer data when consumers use the product. Google appears to use this data to develop new services and also in its advertisement business, among other thin"

Payments made by Apple Pay and Google Pay/Wallet both include a lot of data, and the use of that data by Apple, Google, Samsung, et al is "opted-in" when you chose to use the service and were presented with the very long ToS to agree to.

I bet most people didn't realise that Google may share all of that data (you can see your activity here https://payments.google.com/gp/w/home/activity ) with their affiliates and partners, the opt-out is hard to find and most people are unlikely to be aware of it, it's on this page: https://payments.google.com/gp/w/home/settings

Note: Stripe Link also collects a lot of data https://link.com/gb/privacy-center

Contactless card payments are naturally limited in the amount of data collected and very tight regulation about how it's used.

From a privacy standpoint cash wins, but realistically cards will be used offline and online... so cards which are not loyalty / points cards, and not used via Apple Pay, etc, and which you can use in person, or enter each time into a payment provider and not store are the best choice.
